Azuma Makoto’s Giant Bonsai
Azuma Makoto’s Giant Bonsai in Dallas, Texas, 2015
The now-defunct Zhulong Gallery’s 2015 exhibit “Shiki: Landscape and Beyond” included a massive sculpture of an uprooted bonsai suspended inside an open steel frame, accompanied by Makoto’s photos documenting a real bonsai’s epic 10-year journey to remote spots around the world then launched into space. Purchased by Dallas collector Selwyn Rayzor, it resides in a specially built room of her house.
